Old Customs

Forn Siðr (“Old Customs”)

The original norse spirituality

Forn Siðr was born in the homeland of Norway several thousand years ago. To be true to traditions, Forn Siðr is still based, to this day, in the Kingdom of Norway (registered with the Norwegian government as a religious NGO under number 922 586 918). Forn Siðr is therefore the original and only true ancestral Norse spirituality in the world, shared by actual Norsemen, and based on millennia of oral traditions, cultural immersion, language knowledge, and connection to the land. Forn Siðr is free of foreign and popular influence, revisionism, and is true to its ancestral roots.

OUR BELIEFS

Forn Siðr ("Old Customs") is not a religion or faith to us. It is our truth, our ancestors, our culture, our identity, our knowledge, our spirit, our masculinity. Forn Siðr is what makes us men and our own man, taking our own decisions, and taking our own responsibilities. Forn Siðr is a warrior belief system that embraces the fundamental evolutionary traits of males.

We do not pray to the Norse Æsir, Ásynjur, Vanir, Jötnar, Aðrir, Kindir, or Kynja (Old Norse terms do not translate to "gods"), nor do we expect them to tell us what to do or how to behave. They are our ancestors, they are ideals we strive to achieve, they are ourselves, they are us.

A fundamental aspect of Forn Siðr is that it has no dogma. No centralized structure, organization, or power. No one to tell you what to think or believe, how to behave, or how to live your life. As a result, we provide very limited guidance. Instead, we give you actual knowledge, so you can be a wolf among all the Abrahamic (including Asatru and Vanatru) sheep.
